Bunks and Beds

Do you even know how hard it is to find a futon mattress (not the frame) in a local store? I didn’t want to spend big bucks at the better known location within MKE, I just needed a cheap mattress to use on my frame for a couch. I called this place before heading there, and the man who answered gave a very thorough answer as to what they had for us to look at.
Upon walking in, we were greeted by an older gentleman who happily showed us all of the futon options they had. He was very enjoyable, as well as practical. Based on what we needed, he pointed out that some more expensive options weren’t necessary. What kind of salesman talks up the cheaper option? A great one, because he knew we didn’t want to mess around. It was priced really reasonably, ready to take home immediately.
It’s mostly youth furniture, probably not anything adults are interested in unless you’re looking for a bed for a very small space (like a lofted bed). But they have the coolest bunks I’ve ever seen, so I recommend it for that absolutely.

I am so impressed by this locally owned business. The entire staff was so helpful! I got exactly what I needed. The futon I purchased for my guest bedroom is so comfortable! Also, the prices are amazing. Other futons from big furniture stores were twice as expensive, half as comfortable, and ugly! I was so impressed by this place that I took my step-​sister, who is in college, when she went looking for a bed. Again, she got exactly what she needed, no one tried to up-​sell us for things she didn’t need, it was delivered the next day, and it was so reasonable. Buy your bed here and don’t waste your time and tons of money at a place with a «whatever you spend, get full back to spend on more» scam! I did that with my mattress and almost went into shock when I saw what I could have gotten at Bunks and Beds!

The first review of Bunks & Beds says pretty much everything I wanted to say. I would just add that the service is very friendly yet low key. They really do not bother you if you just want to walk around and look. I bought a really nice staircase bunk that cost about half of what I saw similar beds for on other websites. This is the only place I will go when I need bedroom furniture for my kids.

We recently went shopping for an all-​in-​one style loft bed, a unit that integrates a dresser, desk, trundle bed, and loft bed all in a single unit.
After experiencing some frustration looking at several other stores (Steinhafels, PM Bedroom, Ashley, etc), which typically had very limited bunk bed selections to begin with, we started looking through manufacturer’s web sites, and through the Powell Furniture web site, we found an intriguing entry for a store called Bunks and Beds. We used to live a few blocks away from there, in Heritage Village, yet we couldn’t picture the place. But sure enough, we stopped by, and there it was… it’s a fairly large store dedicated to mostly bunks and beds, and other children’s bedroom goodies.
The main problem with the place is that it seems to be very low-​key. We had a heck of a time finding it on the Web (had to ask for their web site, Google couldn’t find it). As former residents of the area, it had never stood out to us. Yet the store is everything you could ask for… and it looks like it might be a family business, at that.
They had a great selection of bunk beds. Several times larger than any other furniture store that we visited. Of course, since they had almost nothing else but, that makes sense. They haven’t bothered with fancy pseudo-​room layouts, which suits me just fine, and instead have crammed their showroom full of different types of beds. The salespeople kept themselves available, yet were not annoyingly «in our face,» an experience that was refreshing after some of the other furniture stores. It is rare to walk into a store, be greeted, say «Hi» and «Just looking», and not be bothered every few minutes thereafter (I *do* *not* want to talk to salespeople most of the time).
We didn’t find the Powell Rustica All-​in-​one unit that we had been looking for, but they had a very similar unit by Raymond, and not only was it less expensive ($ 1300ish vs $ 1800ish), they also had a «tax rebate sale» on, and we ended up getting the unit for about $ 950 — almost half what we had been expecting.
We did have one problem. The bunk ladder came without hooks that should have been included. Recognizing that the unit was sourced from China, we simply made a pair out of heavy duty L brackets.
We’ve been quite pleased with them, and hope to maybe do a little more business with them in the future.
